determining the volume of liquid used requires two readings to be taken
and subtracted one from the other.
To measure specific amounts (volumes) of liquids e.g (exactly 5, 10, 25
Pipette
or 50 cm3) with an uncertainty of 0.05 cm3.
Measuring To measure various volumes of liquids, accuracy depending on size and
cylinder graduation of the cylinder (rather inaccurate)
To prepare solutions with a specific volume, e.g. 250 cm3, 1000 cm3, etc.,
Volumetric flask

Bunsen-burner.

Section 1.2.3
(1) 2. Rules which should be followed when using a Bunsen burner:

• Place the Bunsen burner on a porcelain tile to protect the surface of the bench.
• Make sure that the Bunsen burner is attached to a gas tap.
• Make sure that the air hole of the burner is closed.
• Hold a lighted match or splint to the muzzle of the burner and slowly open the
gas tap until the gas ignites. This will produce a very sooty, yellow flame. Keep
your face and hair away from the burner.
• Slightly open the air hole until the flame is blue at the bottom and slightly yellow
at the top.
• If a very hot flame is required, fully open the air hole and the gas tap. Be very
careful with this type of flame and never leave the Bunsen burner with a blue
flame when not in use.

Section 1.2.4
(2) 3. Rules that should be followed when heating a test-tube:

• Never have the test-tube more than half filled with liquid.
• Always use test-tube holder and never tongs or your hands.
• Do not hold the test-tube upright in the flame, instead have it inclined at an angle.
An upright tube is more likely to spit the liquid out when it starts to boil.
• Keep the test-tube moving as it is being heated, by moving your wrist from side
to side, to prevent bumping due to overheating.
• Remove the tube temporarily out of the flame when the liquid starts to boil
vigorously or reduce the flame, so the liquid will not spill out.

Section 1.2.6

i. Heat the solution in an evaporating dish directly on a flame till most of the
liquid evaporates. (do not boil dry).
ii. Transfer the evaporating dish over a steam bath. Heat gently till all the liquid
evaporates.

Section 1.2.8
(3) 5 . a. To read the volume of a liquid in a measuring cylinder:

1. Stand the cylinder on the bench, don’t hold it in your hand.

2. Bend down so that your eye on the same level as the surface of the liquid.
3. Measure to the bottom of the curved surface, meniscus, of the liquid.

b. To determine the volume of the liquid in the cylinder make one reading.

Section 1.2.9
(4) 6. To fill a pipette, the following steps are followed:

1. Attach the filer to the pipette.

2. Squeeze valve A (for air out) (valve 1) and at the same time squeeze the bulb
of the filler. This drives the air out of the filler.
3. Place the pipette in the liquid to be used.
4. Squeeze valve S (for suck) (valve 2) and the liquid is sucked into the pipette.
Continue until the liquid is a few centimeters above the calibration mark.
5. Move your eye to the same level as the calibration mark and carefully
squeeze valve E (for empty) (valve 3) to empty some liquid until the bottom
of the liquid meniscus just touches the calibration mark.
6. Remove the filler from the pipette and allow the liquid to run out into a clean
beaker or flask.
7. After the liquid has run out, touch the bottom of the pipette against the side
of the beaker or flask. A little liquid should still be left in the tip of the

1. Place the burette in a burette stand and insert a filter funnel in its mouth.
2. Place some of the liquid to be measured into the burette.
3. Let out some liquid until no air is left in the section of the burette between the
valve and the tip.
4. Pour in the liquid from a beaker until the liquid is close to the 0.0 mark.
5. Remove the funnel. If you have filled the burette over the zero mark, open the
valve to allow some liquid to run out, until the bottom of the liquid,
meniscus, is tangent to the 0.0 mark. The burette is now ready to be used.

Section 3.4.5
(25) 8. [G] Gases have no definite volume or shape. They will occupy any volume

they are placed in. Gaseous particles move easily and there is a lot of empty space
between the particles hence is easily compressed.

Liquids have a definite volume but an indefinite shape. Liquids are practically
incompressible due to the limited spacing between the particles. However, the
small spaces between the particles allow it to change shape as the particles can slide
and flow past each other.

Solids have a definite volume and a definite shape. They are practically
incompressible due to the minute spacing between the particles. The solid particles
are so tightly packed that they cannot move with respect to each other, they can
only vibrate in their position.

Section 3.5 Avogadro’s number and the Mole concept

Section 3.5.1
(30) 9. [G] A mole is defined as Avogadro’s number of particles, 6.02 × 1023 (which is

the number of carbon atoms found in 12 g of C-12).

b. Given: m = 30 g R.T.F: # of moles of atoms

Number of moles of atoms = number of moles × atomicity

= 0.125 mole

n Mg > n Ca ⇒ 3.0 g of Mg has more atoms than 4.0 g of Ca.

IF QUESTION REQUIRES FINDING THE NUMBER OF ATOMS OF

EACH THEN:
𝑚𝑚 4.0 𝑚𝑚 3.0
n Ca = 𝑀𝑀 = 40 = 0.10 mole n Mg = 𝑀𝑀 = 24 = 0.125 mole
number of Ca atoms = n Ca × N A = (0.10)(6.0×1023) = 6.0 × 1022 atoms
number of Mg atoms = n Mg × N A = (0.125)(6.0×1023) = 7.5 × 1022 atoms

Chapter 7 Structure of the atom and the periodic table

Section 7.1 Structure of the atom

Section 7.1.6
(103) 1. a. Protons and neutrons are very similar in mass and much heavier than

electrons. An electron is about 1/2000 the mass of a proton.

The masses of protons and neutrons are often rounded to 1 amu, when greater
precision is not necessary. The mass of electrons is negligible compared to
the mass of nucleons (neutrons and protons).

b. Since the mass of electrons is negligible compared to that of nucleons

present in the nucleus; therefore, the mass of an atom is approximately equal
to the total mass of the nucleus.

Find: C 2 H 6 (g) + 2O 2 (g) → 2CO 2 (g) + 3H 2 O(g) ∆H = ?

Reaction 1 must be multiplied by 2:

2C(s) + 2O 2 (g) → 2CO 2 (g) ∆H = 2(-393) kJ
Reaction 2 must be reversed:
C 2 H 6 (g) → 2C(s) + 3H 2 (g) ∆H = +84.5 kJ
Reaction must be multiplied by 3:

∆H = -786 + 84.5 – 726 = -1427.5 = -1428 kJ

Add the two reactions:
2Fe 2 O 3 + 4Al → 4Fe + 2Al 2 O 3
∆H = +1674 – 3348 = -1674 kJ/mol

We need the reaction per mole of Fe 2 O 3 with Al

Equation 3 is multiplied by 3:
6H 2 (g) + 3O 2 (g) → 6H 2 O(g) ΔH = 3(-483.6 kJ)

Adding the three reactions we obtain: 4NH 3 (g) + 5O 2 (g) → 4NO(g) + 6H 2 O(g)

particles and their speeds. As a result the frequency of effective collisions
will increase. This will increase the rate which is shown by a steeper rise.
However, the starting amount of Mg is the same so the final volume of H 2
remains the same.
iv. Graph A. A greater mass of Mg results in the formation of a greater volume
of H 2 . Powdering the Mg, increases the surface area exposed so more
collisions occur which leads to a faster rate.

b. The final volume obtained in experiment C is 60 cm3.

b. The volume of oxygen collected after 20 seconds is 30 cm3.
c. It takes 33 seconds to collect 40 cm3 of oxygen.
d. The reaction stopped because the reactants were totally consumed, all the
hydrogen peroxide decomposed completely.
(143) 9. a. A larger concentration of acid increases the rate of the reaction. The graph will
have a steeper start. The starting amount of CaCO 3 did not change so the graph
will have the same ending as the original.

b. A stronger acid is used which increases the rate of the reaction. The graph will
have a steeper start. The starting amount of CaCO 3 did not change so the graph
will have the same ending as the original.

c. Cooling the acid decreases the rate. The particles speed and energy decrease
with a drop in temperature. This decreases the number of effective collisions
which decreases the rate. The graph will have a less steep start. The starting
amount of CaCO 3 did not change so the graph will have the same ending as
the original.

d. A decrease in the surface area decreases the possibility of collisions. As a result

the rate will decrease. The graph will have a less steep start. The starting
amount of CaCO 3 did not change so the graph will have the same ending as the
original.

e. By definition a catalyst increases the rate of a reaction therefore graph will have
a steeper start. The starting amount of CaCO 3 did not change so the graph will
have the same ending as the original.

f. Increasing the starting quantity of solid will not affect the rate. However, the
volume of gas produced will increase. The graph will have the same steepness
but will end at a higher volume of gas.

A student carried out the following reaction to study the speed of reaction
between zinc and hydrochloric acid. Excess zinc powder was reacted with 50 cm3 of
dilute hydrochloric acid. The experiment was carried out at 25°C.

The volume of the gas was measured every minute for six minutes and the
graph below was drawn.

a. The result at 2 minutes. This result does not fit to the graph.
b. The speed decreases or slows down until it stops.
This occurs because the hydrochloric acid is being used up or becoming
less concentrated.
(Never say the reactant is used up, you must specify which reactant)
c. Refer to the graph
d. The reaction finished after 3.7 minutes. All the hydrochloric acid was used
up.
e. As time passes, the initial concentration of hydrochloric acid decreases,
number of particles decreases, thus the frequency of collisions decreases.

(145) 11. a. For fair comparison

The concentration of sodium thiosulfate is proportional to the volume of the
solution.

b. The rate of reaction increases. As temperature increases, particles gain

kinetic energy and move faster, thus the frequency of effective collisions
increases.

c. Due to the formation of sulfur precipitate.

d. The time taken for the cross to disappear would be longer. The bottom side
of a larger beaker has a larger surface, so the precipitate formed spreads
out. As a result, longer time is needed for enough of the precipitate to
sediment and cover the cross.

(147) 13.a. To prevent mixing of hydrogen peroxide and manganese oxide

or So hydrogen peroxide and manganese oxide don’t react.
b. Role: It acts as a catalyst, it speeds up the rate of the reaction.
Explanation: a catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction by offering an
alternative pathway with lower activation energy for the reactant to follow.
c. Effect: slower rate of reaction.
Explanation:1.0 g lumps have a smaller surface area than the powdered
form, thus slower reaction rate.

(148) 15. a. The large surface area provided by powdering, greatly increases the rate of
the reaction. So if sparked by any means, the reaction will be so fast and
exothermic that an explosion results.
b. As the number of molecules present in a constant volume increases, it
increases the possibility of collisions. When the frequency of collisions
increases, the chances of successful collisions may increase. This leads to an
increase in the reaction rate.

(151) 17. [G] Increasing the temperature increases the rate of a reaction because particles
of reactants move faster at higher temperature – so they collide more often
and more strongly which leads to more effective collisions. As particles
move faster, the will be more collisions between reacting particles per
second, and more collisions which have energy greater than the activation
energy.

the reaction. If sparked by any means the reaction becomes so fast and
releases energy resulting in an explosion.

(155) 23. a. To double the pressure means to either add more reactants or decrease the
volume. Either act leads to an increase in the concentration. This means the
frequency of collisions increases so the chances of successful collisions
may increase leading to an increase in the rate.
b. Doubling the number of molecules of A, increases the frequency of
collisions so the chances of successful collisions may increase leading to an
increase in the rate.
c. A decrease in the temperature decreases the average kinetic energies of the
molecules which decreases their speeds. As a result, the frequency of
effective collisions decreases which decreases the rate.
